DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's evaluation and selection decision is denied where the
record demonstrates that the evaluation and source selection decision were reasonable
and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.
DECISION

American Correctional Healthcare, Inc. (ACH), of Granbury, Texas, protests the award
of a contract to NaphCare, Inc., of Birmingham, Alabama, by the Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under request for proposals (RFP)
No. RFPP03011600001, for comprehensive medical services at the United States
Penitentiary Atlanta, Georgia. ACH alleges that the agency erred in its technical
evaluation of the proposals and failed to give meaningful consideration to price, which
resulted in an unreasonable award decision.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

BOP issued the RFP on September 12, 2016, in order to obtain comprehensive medical
services, including necessary professional and facility services for both inpatient
admissions and outpatient encounters, for inmates of the United States Penitentiary
Atlanta, Georgia. The RFP contemplated the award of a single indefinite-delivery,
requirements contract with fixed unit prices, for one base year and four 12-month option
